Learning from a Guide Trip

A Day of Fishing

Over the many years of guiding on Lake Guntersville, I have found that people using guides really want to learn something about fishing besides catching fish and having fun; it is my objective every day to accomplish as much of their needs as possible. With today’s busy lakes and fish being caught several times over their life span you cannot always make the fish bite, but you can teach someone ways to become a better angler and that is something I can accomplish regardless of whether the fish bite or not. You can always be personable, make the day fun and work with your customer on the ins and outs of becoming a good angler.

I have prided myself in becoming a teacher and my consistent repeat customers are always learning and getting better at their passion and that is something I know in my heart and accomplish every day. Learning to be better everyday on the water has turned many of my customers into winning tournament angler. Over my time on the water as a guide I have had the pleasure to watch many of them grow and become accomplished anglers. I have seen lots of my customers go from not even being able to hardly cast to being an accomplished fisherman with several different baits or presentations and learning to create a bite and that my friends is extremely rewarding. Many of my customers learn very quickly that bass fishing is different than most any other type of fishing mainly because bass do not feed constantly like many other species of fish, therefore you must develop your skills to get the bass to react and strike a bait and that not always easy. When you have the understanding to get bass to react, where they live, what their movements are and why bass do what they do your chances go up of catching fish.

A day on the water with me is a day of learning, every thing from patterns to baits; learning about rods, reels, bait colors, fish movement, the how and the why and of course catching fish and having fun. No question goes unanswered, I have no secrets I want you to be a successful angler!
